WAREHAM— A 31-year-old Wareham man is charged with robbing two teenagers of their cellphones and other items at gunpoint Thursday, police said.

Toure Perry is charged with armed robbery, according to Lt. Kevin Walsh, public information officer for the Wareham Police Department.

The victims told police they were robbed on Marion Road about 5:30 p.m. by a man who was armed with what appeared to be a semi-automatic handgun, according to Walsh. The suspect fled on foot after the robbery.

Police later stopped a vehicle and arrested Perry, who was a passenger, when he matched the victims' description of the man who robbed them, Walsh said.

The driver of the vehicle told police she picked up Perry and gave him a ride, police said.

Police have not located the firearm used in the robbery, according to Walsh.
